Finally, when the sun was about to set, the only wolf that could stand up was the leading black wolf. It was also hit by more than a dozen arrows and was wobbly and unsteady. It couldn't jump at all, but it still stood on its own.
The man under the tree looked up at Major, showing his threatening fangs.
Major fired two arrows in a row. It finally roared unwillingly, fell to the ground, and slowly closed its eyes.
Major was already exhausted. Shooting arrows for a day was not an easy job. His arms were already sore. If he persisted for a while, he might not even be able to climb down the tree. He put away his crossbow and put the wolf in the bag.
Carry it on your back and slowly climb down the tree.
He opened the bag and released the wolves inside. Unexpectedly, three of them were already dead. They may have died of suffocation due to overcrowding. Major sighed, these wolves are quite innocent, but that's okay, otherwise they would be released.
It is inevitable to be eaten by other predators.
He was holding the only living wolf cub in his arms and couldn't bear to throw it away. After much deliberation, he decided to give it to Old West Germany and raise it as a hunting dog.
There were sudden soft sounds behind him, and Major felt bad. His back had been hit hard, as if he had been hit by a giant hammer. His body flew several meters into the air and rolled several times on the ground. Major opened his eyes.
He saw a black wolf with a huge mouth biting towards his throat. It was too close and there was no way to avoid it. He subconsciously raised his left hand in a vain attempt to block the wolf's mouth.
The arm could not be saved. He closed his eyes. However, there was no expected sound of bones breaking in his ears, and there was no severe pain. Major opened his eyes strangely and saw the black wolf standing there with his mouth open.
The black wolf fell to the ground, but his body remained motionless. He reached out and pushed, and the black wolf suddenly fell to the ground.
There was something moving around on his body. Major took a look and understood. It turned out that he was holding the wolf cub in his left hand. When he was blocking the wolf's mouth, he just lifted the wolf cub in front of him. Black Wolf saw that it was him.
The cub forcefully closed its big mouth, but the final fatal blow also exhausted its life fire.
Seeing this situation, Major couldn't help but feel a deep hatred for the secretary. If you hadn't issued this mission, the wolf family would still be enjoying themselves and wouldn't have died tragically here.
…
Early the next morning, the clerk had just set up the table in front of the city hall, but before he could sit down firmly, he heard a clang and there was a big bloody wolf head on the table.
"Now you can let me participate in the trial."
The clerk was startled, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be Major.
Major was wearing a brand new leather armor, soft wolfskin boots, a black cloak hanging stylishly on his shoulders, and a big sausage in his mouth. He looked like a proud upstart.
Needless to say, the money for these things was obtained by selling wolf skins. The twelve wolf skins, although there were many holes shot by arrows, were still very valuable. Especially the skin of the first wolf, which was sold for twenty silver coins.
.
The secretary looked at the wolf's head carefully. At this time, people watching the fun nearby also gathered around.
"Oh, it's really that wolf in the forest. Look at this head and the color of its coat."
"Indeed, I have seen this beast with my own eyes. I will never forget it. This is it."
…
People talked a lot and complimented Major from time to time. Their name for him also changed from Mr. Shitdan to George.
The clerk raised the quill: "You are qualified to participate in the Warrior Trial. Please tell me your full name."
"Major? George." Major said. You don't know the name of this body anyway, so I'll just use my own name.
The clerk wrote it down carefully, asked Major to press his fingerprints, and then took out a jar.
"Please draw a piece of paper inside. For the sake of fairness, the tasks of the Warrior Trial will be determined by drawing lots."
Major grabbed a piece of paper and took it out to read.
"Go to the Bloody Hills and bring back twenty kilograms of hematite ore."
Mining? It’s too easy. It’s not as difficult as pre-selecting tasks.
The people next to me looked at it and gasped. "It's bad luck to get this mission. There are kobold tribes in the Bloody Hills, which are very difficult to deal with. Twenty kilograms of hematite ore are also difficult to find."
Major's mood was not ruined by them. Mao! A group of wolves have been killed, so why are they afraid of kobolds?
"Major, I should remind you." The secretary suddenly said. "The task of the Warrior Trial is much more difficult than it seems. You should talk to Master Yutan, the mentor of Yuanli, to see what help he can give you.
.You also have money now to buy the Yuanli Scroll and learn one or two skills, which will be very useful."
Is there any other way to say this? Wherever Major knows about Master Yutan, there is a sign on the door - Master Yuanli.
It's just that Major never paid attention, thinking it was a charlatan selling health care. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be official. The place was not far from the city hall, just around the corner.
Major knocked on the door and was asked to come in. Major opened the door and was shocked as soon as he walked in. This was really a fantasy world. The space in the room was much larger than expected, and bookshelves reaching to the ceiling occupied the entire room.
It covered all four walls. The air was filled with the inexplicable smell of potion. There was a huge desk in the middle of the room, and a green-skinned dwarf wearing small round glasses was immersed in the pile of books and writing furiously.
Major saw that the dwarf ignored him and was too embarrassed to disturb others, so he walked to the bookshelf and looked at it. Dozens of densely packed books were wrapped in some kind of animal skin, and the titles of the books were written in beautiful gilt script on the spines.
.
"Research on the Origin of Yuanli"
"Discussion on the Principle of Using Yuanli to Generate Elemental Power"
"The Power to Change the World"
"How to Use Yuan Power to Heal Diseases",
"The possibility of quickly stimulating the talent of Yuanli"...
After a while, the green dwarf finally put down his pen, leaned back on the chair, pinched his forehead with his hands and said: "Little George, I thought you would come to me earlier. Please sit down!" He pointed to the desk.
The chair on the other side.
"I have to participate in the Warrior Trial. The secretary asked me to come to you and say that I can learn skills." Major sat down.
"Yes, a whole new world is opened to you." Master Yutan stared at Major through the gap above his glasses.
Major was startled. This old guy's words were a bit strange. Did he know that he had traveled through time?
"No one expected you to participate in the Warrior Trial. I must admit, including me. But I have always believed that everyone has a chance to change their destiny. So I am very happy that you came to me."
So that's it, Major felt a stone fall in his heart. "Thank you, Master Yutan."
"Stretch out your hand." Master Yutan ordered. "Let's see the strength of your Yuan Power." He said, grabbing a fist-sized white crystal ball from the table and handing it to Major.
"Now close your eyes and don't think about anything...Okay, you can open your eyes."
The process was so fast that Major didn't even realize it was over. Master Yutan's expression seemed a little embarrassed: "It's really strange. Under normal circumstances, everyone has more or less Yuanli talent. Correspondingly, it will reflect
Some Yuanli strength can be detected by the crystal ball. There are many people who have too little Yuanli talent to learn Yuanli skills, but they always have some Yuanli strength. But your situation is very special. Maybe there is something wrong with my crystal ball.
Not a single elemental energy fluctuation was detected. Zero, nothing, completely still."
Major was dumbfounded. He didn't live up to the amazing expectations of his talent, but at least he had a normal level, right? If he completely returned to zero, wouldn't he never be able to turn around again? Could it be that even if he traveled through time, he would accomplish nothing and have to be a woodcutter for the rest of his life?
"I understand, I understand. This is cruel and strange. I have never seen such a situation. It is worth studying." Master Yutan saw him stunned and felt a little unbearable, so he jumped down from the chair.
He was pacing on the ground with his hands behind his back. "This is a big blow to you..." He suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, I have come up with a way to provide you with the help I can."
Magic weapon? Major recalled the scene in the novel and felt excited.
"First of all, let me popularize the basic knowledge of Yuanli." Master Yutan said. "In this world, Yuanli is the source of all power. It is part of the rules, power, change, creation, and gap.
It's life, it's a dream. It can take many forms. It can be a fire..." Yutan said, raising a finger, and a blue flame formed on his finger.
Major was stunned.
"...It's wind, it's water, it's lightning..." Suddenly there was a faint thunder in the room, and the smell of gunpowder smoke appeared in the air.
"...It is vibration, magnetism, light, darkness, sharp blades, speed, skill, death, decay, disease, curse, prophecy, hope, everything you can imagine."
Yutan continued: "Yuanli exists in every living thing in this world. It is the link between life and nature. The founder is very fair. Yuanli is not just exclusive to a few intelligent races. One cow, one bird
, even a fly has some kind of Yuanli talent. If they are lucky, their Yuanli is strong enough, they can instinctively use the racial talent skills given by the founder. Yuanli users are called Yuanli users.
Master Yutan added: "For those who have learned basic skills from me, the Warrior Trial is not difficult, but for you, without any Yuanli talent, learning basic skills will be very difficult and almost impossible. Even if you
Even if you buy a scroll of Yuanli, you won't be able to learn the skills on it."
Yutan took a sip of water and continued:
"But I just suddenly came up with an idea that can give you a little help. A few years ago, my memory began to decline. This caused me a lot of trouble, so I transformed a spell to look back into the past into an enhanced memory--
Their principles are the same. The effect of this modified spell is quite good, I call it "Photographic Memory"."
"Of course, this is of no use to other people, because all Yuanli skills can be learned instantly and become instinctive directly. I mainly use it to read books. Each time I use it, it can last for three days. This spell may
It will be useful to you." He took out a dagger from the drawer and continued:
"If I cast this spell on you and then demonstrate to you a set of movements using a dagger, you may quickly master the simple Silver Tower primary dagger fighting technique - without Yuanli talent, this will take a long time to practice hard. Are you willing?
